Security challenges for adoption of virtualization for effective e governanceAdam Bert Lacay
This document summarizes a research paper about security challenges for adopting virtual machine monitors (VMMs)/hypervisors to support effective e-governance. The paper aims to present different hypervisor threats that could lead a virtualized environment to collapse from a single point of failure (SPOF). It conducts a descriptive analysis of VMM attacks and vulnerabilities, categorizing five issues: intrusion, distributed denial of service attacks, non-control data attacks, hypervisor-based fault tolerance failures, and malware/rootkit attacks. The paper examines potential solutions to prevent SPOF issues and discusses challenges in implementing them for e-governance. The research contributes to studying solutions to effectively prevent SPOF in hypervisor-running
The interest in virtualization has been growing rapidly in the IT industry because of inherent benefits like better resource utilization and ease of system manageability. The experimentation and use of virtualization as well as the simultaneous deployment of virtual software are increasingly getting popular and in use by educational institutions for research and teaching. This paper stresses on the potential advantages associated with virtualization and the use of virtual machines for scenarios, which cannot be easily implemented and/or studied in a traditional academic network environment, but need to be explored and experimented by students to meet the raising needs and knowledge-base demanded by the IT industry. In this context, we discuss various aspects of virtualization – starting from the working principle of virtual machines, installation procedure for a virtual guest operating system on a physical host operating system, virtualization options and a performance study measuring the throughput obtained on a network of virtual machines and physical host machines. In addition, the paper extensively evaluates the
use of virtual machines and virtual networks in an academic environment and also specifically discusses sample projects on network security, which may not be feasible enough to be conducted in a physical network of personal computers; but could be conducted only using virtual machines.

Migrating server workloads to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization on Intel Xeon...Principled Technologies
Consolidating to a virtualized environment that supports VMs running the original operating systems can help you save on data center costs and eliminate retuning and testing costs that can be necessary when porting applications. You can reinstall the operating systems, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8, on VMs and copy the application software and configuration to them. Selecting a virtual environment that optimizes performance and improves price/performance can lead to significant savings in the data center. You can get better performance and greater efficiency by replacing several older servers with newer ones powered by Intel® Xeon® processors running Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, reducing the number of servers you need to run and maintain.
In our tests, we easily and successfully migrated a middleware application running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux on a two- to three-year-old bare-metal server to virtual machines on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3 Hypervisor using Intel® Xeon® processors E5-2690.
Not only was there minimal disruption of the workload, but performance increased dramatically—by 90.3 percent when we ran one VM and by 143.8 percent when we ran two VMs.
These findings demonstrate that moving older servers to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization VMs with newer Intel® Xeon® processors can provide all of the benefits of virtualization while significantly improving application performance.

Traditional security tools are not designed to address the unique security challenges of virtualized environments. The document argues that organizations must understand these new risks and take steps to secure virtualized environments in order to fully realize the benefits of virtualization.
This document provides an overview of virtualization. It defines virtualization as separating a resource or request for a service from the underlying physical delivery of that service. Virtualization allows for more efficient utilization of IT infrastructure by running multiple virtual machines on a single physical server. There are two main approaches to virtualization - hosted architectures which run on top of an operating system, and hypervisor architectures which install directly on hardware for better performance and scalability. Virtualization can provide benefits like server consolidation, test environment optimization, and business continuity.
Virtualization is a technology that allows multiple operating systems and applications to run on a single physical machine simultaneously. It provides a layer of abstraction between the physical hardware and the applications running on top of it. The document discusses concepts of virtualization like partitioning, full virtualization, paravirtualization, and VMware's product portfolio for data center, desktop, and mobile virtualization.
This document compares the performance of IBM's PowerVM virtualization technology on POWER7 systems against VMware vSphere 4.1 update 1 on Intel x86 platforms using two industry standard benchmarks: AIM7 and TPoX. The AIM7 benchmark showed PowerVM delivering up to 115% better performance than vSphere at a consolidation ratio of 32 VMs to cores. PowerVM also demonstrated more linear scaling than vSphere across VM configurations from 1 to 32 VMs. Additional tests configuring vSphere VMs with 2 vCPUs each to better utilize Intel cores still showed PowerVM significantly outperforming vSphere.

Bedrijven staan al decennia onder druk van de nieuwe generatie werknemers, toenemende concurrentie en aandeelhouders. Een andere werkcultuur, gestuurd op output met het kantoor vaak alleen nog als functionele ontmoetingsplek, beloofde bedrijven al jaren een betere performance. De doorbraak van HNW bleef echter uit. Daar lijkt nu verandering in te komen door inzet van consumententechnologie en (social media) diensten. Wat zijn de belangrijkste aandachtspunten en welke voordelen zijn er voor uw organisatie te behalen? Dit vraagstuk komt aan bod in deze presentatie. Dat is Het Nieuwe Werken Vooruitgedacht.

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
This talk will cover ScyllaDB Architecture from the cluster-level view and zoom in on data distribution and internal node architecture. In the process, we will learn the secret sauce used to get ScyllaDB's high availability and superior performance. We will also touch on the upcoming changes to ScyllaDB architecture, moving to strongly consistent metadata and tablets.
Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdfleebarnesutopia
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE.
